DevO Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 My friend is trying to get me to check out The Decemberists here in Vancouver tomorrow night.. Its a bit expensive at $22 but I'll likely go. Anyone here have any thoughts on this band? I've heard of them through all the usual indie rock media outlets but haven't heard their tunes.

phunkyb Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hey Kevo, go check them out. They are one of my favorite bands from last year. They have a great female singer. The new album is called Picaresque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I think the Decemberists are brilliant. I'd gladly pay $22 to see them ... but I've never heard any reports of how their brilliance does or doesn't come across in their live shows. Lyrically very clever, and musically accomplished as well. Allmusic.com once described them as a "seafaring Belle & Sebastian or a more grounded Neutral Milk Hotel", which is pretty accurate as far as I'm concerned.

DevO Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 oh, the show got cancelled.. i guess the bands' gear was stolen at the show the night before, in seattle or wherever. so the whole tour got postponed. i was looking forward to that one too!
